Colachel, Battle of

Years: 1741 - 1741

The Battle of Colachel (or Battle of Kulachal) is fought on August 10, 1741 [O.S.

31 July 1741] between forces of the Indian kingdom of Travancore and the Dutch East India Company, during the Travancore-Dutch War.

The Dutch never recover from the defeat and no longer pose a large colonial threat to India, assisting the British East India Company's eventual rise to dominance on the Indian subcontinent.

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past...Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered."

― George Orwell, 1984 (1948)
